On Aug. 22, the City of Tecumseh Brownfield Redevelopment Authority received approval of $1.4 million in local and school tax captures to support lead, asbestos and mold abatement as well as demolition activities necessary to prepare the site for redevelopment.

The project will rehabilitate a portion of the old Orbitech building into industrial space and renovate another building into offices. The rest of the 55-acre site will be cleared for a new contemporary retail, industrial and business complex with on-site parking and park space.
